Just in case the Nazi strike again so you can identify as one. Convenient!

Those people can just carve "FUCK" into their own foreheads, then everyone will know they're fuckheads, no patches required.

There's a lot of fake nazi artifacts out there, people have been making it since the 50s, if not earlier. So there's a market for "certified" authentic stuff.

I mean, collecting only nazi stuff is weird. But I'm into history and if I had a bunch of other older military things I wouldn't think it was weird to have an old nazi badge or something. Not to praise it or anything but it's a real part of history.

Knew someone who collected wwii militaria, including Nazi stuff. Claimed that some tiny shoulder or lapel badges were worth close to 6 figures.

Even if they were wildly exaggerating on value, it makes that stuff an easy way to move large amounts of money undetected.
